About Kweichow Moutai Osaka Expo Edition Drankverpakking

Kweichow Moutai Osaka Expo Edition is een verpakkingsontwerp voor een herdenkingsdrank, gecreëerd voor de Wereldexpo 2025 in Osaka. De vorm is geïnspireerd op de buitenkant van het Chinese Paviljoen en doet denken aan traditionele Chinese bamboeboekrollen. De keramische fles staat in een metalen landschap, en de doos is vervaardigd uit ecologisch bamboepaneel, metaal en kunstleer. Een metalen tijdlijn op de bovenkant van de doos markeert de langdurige relatie tussen het merk en de Wereldexpo. Een metalen handgreep in de vorm van een wijnkruik glijdt langs de tijdlijn om de doos draaiend te openen.
